Wondering how Andy Phillips is keeping busy in the off-season? Aside from taking care of his new baby, I mean. (I think I heard it was a girl, but don't quote me on that.) He's doing some charity events for Baseball Country, which seems to be a combination baseball and bible camp. Or maybe that's just how they do baseball camp in Alabama.

When his wife was going through her bout with cancer, she was doing a lot of reading in the book of Isaiah. It helped her during that time and that is where they came up with the idea to name their little girl Isaiah.
